Plenty of young men had noticed Emma’s smooth auburn hair and her quick intellect, but at twenty-six years of age, she was still single, much to the bewilderment of her Amish community. "She’s just too picky," they said, and she supposed they were right. Most did not know that she had been in love once, and had wound up brokenhearted.
